The V83 is a shallow Scapa wreck. She lies in two parts - bows in 8 metres and stern in 16 metres. Broken amidships, she makes a good second dive. Although the shallow bow section is well covered with kelp there are hatches available for examination. The middle section has been extensively salvaged and so is well broken up. Nonetheless there are many bits of wreckage to be found. There is a 4 inch gun pointing upwards as well as the remnants of one of her torpedo tubes. The stern section is comparatively well preserved. It lies upright with an extant rudder, an anchor and attendant prop shafts. It is possible to enter the stern via one of the propellor guards. Ths was filmed using a Sony PC105 camcorder ina gates Housing and Niterider HID lights. www.doryproductions.co.uk
